About the Book

The book first looks at the history of the economy of Trinidad and Tobago since the second World War and catalogues the country's cycles of boom and bust since then. The country is heavily dependent on oil and natural gas for its economic fortunes and the economic cycles over the years have generally been as a result of the fluctuations of the international price levels of oil and gas. The book puts forward a specific prescription (the economic value added concept) that had been espoused by the great economic philosophers of the past (Adam Smith, Henry George, David Ricardo, John Stuart Mill and Leon MacLaren), of which modern day economic thought and policy have largely ignored or forgotten. Specifically it will deal with: -

- The Unequal Values of the Factors of Production in the twin island state - Land, Labour and Capital. It explores this inequality and seeks to determine the true cause(s) for the pervasive poverty in the country despite the windfalls received? Find out more about this here!
